Yes, but on roads like these driver ability and local knowledge could for a lot more than just horsepower.

A couple of times i've been on twisty mountain roads that i don't know and not managed to go much faster than say, a well driven gti - simply because the gti driver knows the road well and was keeping it nailed thru blind bends, whereas i was driving within the limits of what i could see (ie only go so fast that you can still stop within the distance you can actually see, which isn't very much on a hairpin'd mountain road).

First clear straight though.. bye bye.
